Record temperatures scorch US West as Americans sweat through extreme heat. Temperatures are running as much as 20 degrees above normal this time of year
A widespread heat wave is expected to deliver a fresh batch of record temperatures along the U.S. West Coast, as millions of Americans sweat through a heat dome that is also hovering over Arizona and Nevada.
About 36 million people — roughly 10% of the country — are under excessive heat warnings coming from the heat dome centered over California, the National Weather Service said on Sunday. Climate change is driving extreme heat waves across the world and will continue to deliver dangerous weather for decades to come, research shows
A weather event for a week is not climate change.
>What’s the hottest it has ever gotten in Las Vegas?
>The hottest temperature in Las Vegas, Nevada history is 118 °F which happened on Sunday, July 26, 1931
1931 ?!?! Thats 93 years ago. Same’ol climate, no change. LOL
When do food crops stop growing? Farmers can’t be happy.
Get ready to see 140° in Phoenix in the next couple years.
We had a baby bird family in our birdhouse. Yesterday the babies died from the heat.😭
It’s going to be the new normal in the west. You either leave there within the next 10 yearsish or deal with the increase in hot, drought and wildfires
